Dogs are known for their love and loyalty, even after their owners pass away.
They possess emotional intelligence and seem to understand loss.
Some dogs even pay respects at their owners’ graves. One sweet dog, Vaguito, holds a seaside vigil for his deceased owner.
Every day, Vaguito sat quietly by the ocean, eyes fixed on the waves. Vaguito seemed to pray for his lost owner.
Might be, Vaguito remembers joyful walks with his owner and the playful moments that fill his heart.
However, the sad truth is that his owner is no longer living. For Vaguito, all that remains are memories.
A woman witnessed grieving dog tare at the Ocean
Jolie Mejía was visiting Punta Negra, Peru, when she noticed something unusual.
She noticed a lonely dog on the beach. He stare ntently at the ocean.
“He didn’t seem abandoned,” Jolie told The Dodo.
“He wore a ribbon around his neck, and his fur was clean.” Jolie approached the dog and waited for his owner, but no one arrived.
Vaguito’s vigil for his deceased owner
Jolie cared for the dog, but he wanted only to watch the ocean waves.
Initially thinking he was abandoned, Jolie and her family considered taking him in.
